THE  OCEAN  SAIL. 

I.f,  ashore  •»  Koinjf  ashore!  All  ashore 's  ^oinK  ashore!"  and  there's  a  ^icvt  clatterinK  down  the  ^rang 
plank.  A  moment  later  the  second  oflicer  looks  at  his  watci'  and  calls  out  "  F.et  go 
the  plank  !"  And  between  deck  hands  and  dock  hands  they  are  making  cjuick  work 
of  it.  when  up  runs  a  breathless  woman:  "Where's  Willie,  did  Willie  go  ashore?" 
Willie  is  soon  located  uj)  in  the  bow.  sitting  serenely  cm  a  coil  of  roi)c,  and  telling 
a  Western  boy  how  nuich  l)igger  Boston  is  than  ('hicago.  His  relieved  mother  sinks 
into  a  chair  to  ri'gain  '  ,  breath,  the  plank  is  thrown  off,  and  the  big  steamship 
"Hoston"   swings  out  into  the  harbor. 

,      It's  .always  an  exceedingly  interesting  moment,   to  a  landsman,  when  :m  ocean 

steamer    cuts    loose    from    its    mooring.        'I'liere's  a  sense  of  separation  from    all    that    is 

old    and    tr.ed    and    familiar.       There  are  new  experien.-es,   new  sensations  and  new  associa- 

.  tions  ahead  of  you,— a  new  life,  even  though  your  voyage  is  but  a  few  hours'  duration.     Then 

here  s  t.>.  spectacle  -  always  more  or  less  moving -of  three  or  fom-  lum.lre.l  people  saying  a  sinn.ltaneous  gor.d-bye 

to  three  or  lour  hundred  other  people  -  the    crowd    on    the   .lock    waving    handkerchiefs,   an.l  shouting,  and  tendering 

uuunuerable   partmg    u,,mcfons  :       ' •  Take  care  of  yourself !  "       "  U.  sure  and  write  !  "       "  Wish  I  vv;.s  going  too  '   ' 

.Now,  Janue,   you  won  t  get  sick,   will  you,  Jamie?"   and  other  e.iuallv  v.iluable  counsels 

Hut  the  "Boston"  does  not  wait  for  prolonged  goo<l-byes  ;  sh.     is   soon    treading    her   wav    jauntily   down   the 
harbor.  you  are  a  fervul  Bostoman,   you  will  doubtless  take  your  place  in  the  stern  and  watch    the   last    lingering 

Z:™'h       ;,        r   t  •      ,^'"'  "^■"'  ""    ""^'  ^'"'    '-'"■   '"^^''y- moved    by   the   general   hu.nan    impulse  to  look 

ahead  rather  than  back -to  take  your  camp-chair  to  the  bow. 

Vou  will  get  many  a   pleasant   salute   from    excursion   boats   on   their   wav   to   Hull    and  N.antasket.  and  you'll 
encounter,   too,  a  good  many  pnvate  pleasure  yachts,   dipping  and  rising   so  jatmtily   and   skin.ming   along  so  saucii; 
as  tf    hey  felt  that  they  were  Ixnlt  of  just  a  little  better   timber   than   anything   else   artoat.       You  will  notice  tha    th^ 
only  boats  that  pass  you  are  those  going  the  other  way.       Nothing  going  in  your  direction    is   likely   to   go   by  y 


for  the    "Boston"    and  her   running   mate,  the    "Yarmouth,"    are  very  fast  sailers,  and 
are  not  accustomed  to  watching  anybody's  iieels. 

Hut  liere  you  are,   past  the  old  forts,  down  past  Hull,  and  a  few  minutes  later  you 
are  rounding  the  lighthouse  and  heading  for  the  ojien  sea.     To  the  south  of  you  lie 
Hul!  and  Nantasket,  to   the   west   Wiiuhrop   and  Revere,   and  soon  you  pass 
^^    Nahant,  and  then  land  becomes  but  a  distant  outline. 

It  will  be  a  timely  proceeding,  just  about  now,  for  you  to  repair  wMth 

all  the   speed   at   your   command  to  the  dinner   table,  for  the  bell  rang  some 

time  ago.       You  will  descend  intending  to  return   forthwith,   so  as  not  to  lose 

the   glorious   sail  —  an    intention,   however,   which   >ou  will  fail  utterly  to  fulfil,   for 

you  w;ll  find  this  ocean  dinner   one   of  the   most   delightful   repasts  at  which  you 

ever  sat.       There  is  one  thing  which  they  have  in    Nova   Scotia    (and  you  get   a 

foretaste  of  it  on  the  Ijoat),   which  is  better  than  anywhere  else  in  tlie  world,  and 

that  is   fisii.        He  it  Irout,  salmon,    halibut,   or   haddock,   it's   always   fresh    from  the 

uater  and   exquisitely   cooked,  —  cooked  with  that  perfection  of  art  that  comes  from 

generations  of  experience. 

That  first  afternoon  upon  the  water  you  will   find   wonderfully   recuperalive,  — 
the  \ery  essence  of  rotfulness.     No  dust,   no  cinders,   no  ratde  and  roar,  no  being- 
crowded  into  a  seat  with  a  300-pounu  stranger  who  puts  his  bundles  on  your  feet, 
while  the  baby  in  tiie  seat  in  front  waves  her  arms  at  you  and  persists  in  making 
remarks  about  your  personal  appearance.       Instead  you  have  tiie  pure  breath  of  heaven, 
room  unlimited,   freedom  unrestrained;    you  can  lie  back  in  your   comfortable     hair   and 
listen  to   the   plashing   of  the   waves;    you    can   close   your   eyes  and   feel  your  soul  expand 
within   you   and    j-our   heart   grow   young.       livery   vacation   should  begin  and  end  with  a  sea  voyage  — then  there's 
not  a  moment  of  it  lost.       Seasick?       Not   at   all.       There's    not    ihe   slightest    ncces.-ity   of  it   in    the    18-hours'  sail 
between    Hoston   and    Yarmouth        Of  course  in  bad   weather   the  water  is  rough,  but  yf)u  c;':i  always  tell   b£;bre  you

more  motion  m  this  ocean  trip  than  you  do  in  the  ferry  to  Chelsea.  ^ 

If  you've  been  very  much  of  a  landsman  it  willmterest  you  greatly  to  look  about  over   the   boat.       Both   the 
Boston      and   the  ''Yarmouth"  are   large   steel-clad   Clyde-built   steamers,   with   a    length   of  nearly  .50  fe  t     nd  . 
wKth  of  about  thirty-five.       They  're  trim,  staunch  boats,  both  of  them,  with  a  speed  of  x8  knots  an   ho.^      ,  d  they 
sail  undaunted  at  any  weather.       ^^hey  have  put  out  from  their  docks  in  many  a  storm  "^ 


when  every  other  ship  stuck  as  clos.,-  to  the  pier  as  hawser  could  keep  it.  The^'  're 
handsome  boats,  too,  being  very  -ichly  appointed  in  cabins,  saloons,  and  slate- 
rooms.  If  you  get  as  far  down  as  their  engine  rooms  you  '11  not  wonder,  when 
you  see  the  huge  machinery,  that  they  should  plough  the  water  so  fast. 

You  will  marvel  when  supper  time  comes  around,  —  remembering 
your  du.ner,-that  you  find  year  appetite  again  so  vigorous,  but  it  is  the 
sea   au-. 

It  is  the  sea  air,  too,  which,  after  a  delightful  evening  under  the 
summer  stars  — or  the  moon,  if  you  have  timed  your  excursion  right - 
will  put  you  so  instantly  to  sleep  the  minute  you  're  in  your  berth  Don't 
over-sleep,  because  it 's  worth  cutting  your  nap  a  little  short  to  get  out 
on  deck  the  next  morning  before  you  haxc  passed  the  big  red  and  white 
ighthouse  which  commands  the  entrance  to  Yarmouth  harbor.  That 
hghthouse  IS  on  Cape  1-ourchu,  and  a  half  hour  later  you  will  be  lying 
snug  and  tight  against  the  Yarmouth  dock. 

Here  you  are,  only  one  night  out  from  home,  and  vet  in  a  foreign 
lam  .  This  fact  will  soon  be  brought  home  to  you  by  'the  appearance 
of  the  customs  officer,  who  will  want  to  know  what  you  have  got  in 
that   bag   of  yours.        \'ou  will   find  him  a  very  gentle  person,   however

you  sit  on  your  hotel  piazza  the  electric  cars  go 
gliding  by  the  door,  not  frequendy  enough  to  dis-

serve  you  as  a  great  convenience  in  carrying  you 
along  the  main  street  of  the  city,  south  towards 
Church  Hill,  or  north  towards  the  ancient  town  of 
Milton,  a  pretty  suburb  of  Yarmouth,  which  has  the 
distinction  of  having  opened  the  first  public  library  — 
back  in   1822  — in  all  the  Province. 

Speaking  of  the  Grand  Hotel  and  its  generous  piazzas, 
It   would   be  doing  Yarmouth  a  distinct  wrong  not  to  dwell  a 
moment  on  this  subject,  for  we  Americans  have  an    idea   that  ^^e  are 
the  only  people  on  this  side  of  the  water  that  have  perfectly  appointed  hotels

AMERICA'S    FIRST    DISCOVERER. 

HI-:    "City  of  St.  John"    makes   less   ado  in  picking  her  way  down  Yarmouth  Harbor 
ta  the  larger  ''Boston."       She  is  soon  rounding  the  "Bug  Light,"  passing  John's 
Cove  and   Cape   Pourchu   on   the   right,   and   in  a  few  minutes  is  at  the  mouth  of  the 
harbor,   makmg  for  the  more  open  sea.       ^'ou  soon  notice  a  little  village  clustered  on 
the   high    bank    at   your  left.       That  is  Chebogue,   a  place   old   enough   to  be   larger 
than  It  IS,   but  no  less  mteresting  on  that  account.      It  was  settled  in    17,0  by  French 
ron.   Annapolis.        Probably  sonie  .neighbor  on   the  boat,   of  whom  you  ^inqt.ire  about 
he     ittle   village,    will   tell   yon    the    interesting    romance    that    took    place    there    one 
hundred  and  twenty  years  ago.     They  were  building  a  church  (they  are  always  build- 
ing  churches   in    Nova   Scotia)    when   part   of   the    English   squadron    cast   anchor   off 
Chebogue,  and   the   captain  of  a  man-of-war   went   ashore   and    watched  them  as  they

\'ou    ought   to  take  another  look   at  Chebogue  for  George  Bancroft's  sake,    the  great   historian     who  cune  sc.

upon  the  newcomers  with  amazement,  and  contemptuously  styled  them 
'   the  dancing  l)eggars." 

Hut  the  day  of  reckoning  came.  The  government  supplies  were 
:iit  off,  and  the  gay  capital  began  to  grow  hungry.  T1h\-  wouldn't 
ish,  and  they  wouldn't  trade  in  furs  :  these  occupations  were  beneath 
hem.  They  coukln't  farm,  it  was  not  a  farming  country  ;  and  so  they 
^tarved.  Famine  followed  feasting  ;  lamentations  took  the  place  of 
nirth.  They  had  houses,— palatial  houses,  but  these,  unfortunately, 
vere  not  edible,  and  so  they  began  to  desert  and  scatter.  Sonu- 
iurned  back  to  the  States  ;  some  went  to  the  neigiiboriiig  towns, 
ine  after  another  they  gathered  their  movable  possessions  and  turned 
Mheir  backs  on  the  "New  Jerusalem."  And  their  stately  mansions,  with 
§iiahogany  balustrades  and  marble  mantels,  were  left  fl)r  the  birds  to  buiki 
'  heir  nests  in.      It  was  indeed  a  deserted  city. 

Never  did  a  city  rise  so  gnuidly  and  fiill  so  mi.seral)Iy.     The  14,000 
loon  became  a  beggarly  four  hundred.      Boys  wandered  through  the  streets     ^ 
\m\  amused   themselves   with  stoning  out  the  windows,   with  no  one  to  chide 
:|liem,— for  there  were   windows   to   spare.       Some   of  the   houses   were   torn 

lown  and  carried  away  to   other   towns   to  build   again,  and   others   of  these  • 

f  lately  structures,  brought  fVom  the   States   at   so   great    expense,   were   pulled   down 
tnd  used  for  hrewood.        If  you  will  permit  me,   the  people  of  Shelburne  had  houses  to  burn 
^^  Is  there-  another  city  on  the  North  American  continent  with  such  a  history?       Is  there   another  whose   story  is 

so  umque,  .so  fascinating?        There  ,s  something  wrong  about  the  man  who  does  not  want  to  .see  Shelburne 

I  he  .Shelburne  ol    to-day  is  a  cjuiet.  serene,  comfortable  little  town  of  2,000  people.      Vou  can  .see  to  this  dav  many

hale   and    hearty,   and   apparently  good   for   another   century.       There  is   one   of  them    on    King   Street,   only  a   short 
distance  from  >.H,r  hotel    where  Pnnce  Edward  was  entertained.       It  is   in    a   fine  state   of  preservation,  a   handsom 
specimen  of  old  colonial  archuectnre.       You  will  con.e  across  the  old  pumps  set  in   the   middle   of  the   streets,  whe" 
ley  were  put  over  a  hundred  years  ago,  and  any  of  the  citizens  will  take  you  to  the  little  engine  house  to  show  you 
the  old  fire.engu.e  sent  over  by  King  George  himself  in  Shelburne's  early  days,  as  a  safeguard  against  the  ravages  of  hre 
'^"^  there  is  the  srperb  harbor,  the  same  to-day  as  it  wa.  a  century  and  a  quarter  ago,- ten  miles  long  from 
She Iburne  to  the  .ea,  and  two  or  three  n.iles  wide,  a  secure  haven  for  all  the  navies  of  the  lorld,-the  finest  IZ^ 
ol  the  Western  hemisphere.  ; 

But  if  you  have  sporting  blood  within  your  veins,  it  is  possible  that  neither  the  historic  glory  of  ancient! 
Shelbume,  nor  its  present  natural  beauty  will  excite  your  interest  as  much  as  the  glorious  fishing  and  sliooting  you  f 
will  find  in  this  section.  I 

All  the  south  shore  of  Nova  Scotia   is   one   great    network   of  lakes    and    rivers,   having   their    origin    nearly  a  I 
Ii    ttrm  ?sT'  "rl       South  Mountain  range;  and  as  yet  these  lakes  and   rivers   have   hLly  been   disturbed'hyl 
the  hsiermans  fly.       There  are  fine  sea  trout  there,  luscious  big  four-pounders,  just  waiting  for   you   to  drop  them     I 
me,  and  Sainton  which  tip  the  beam  at  thirty  pounds.       Three  or  four  hundred  salmon  is  no  unusual   season's   catch 
or  a    oaU   fisherman  ;  and  as  for  trout,  any  -nan   who   cannot   put   a   hundred   in    his   basket   in   a   day  must   be    halt 
and  bud.       There  are  three  rivers  in  the  neighborhood  of  Shelburne.  all   of  them   famous   for   their   fishing        First 
die  Shelburne  River,  which  empties   into  the  harbor   close   by  the   town.       A   dozen    miles   away  to   the   west   is   th^ 
Cyde  River,   while  about  an  equal  distance  to  the  east  is  the  River  Jordan.       These  rivers  are  full  of  falls,  and  these 
^alls  abound  in  trout.       They  are  all  fed,  too,  from  innumerable  lakes;  and  while   thev  empty  into   the   .ea   at  wide! 
divergent  points,   their  headwaters  are  so  close  together  that  a  carry  of  a  mile,  and  often  less,   will  take  you  from  one 
stream  to  another  ;  ^o  that  if  you  want  variety  you  can  fisli  from  spring  to  fall,  and  every  day  in  new  waters.       The 
best  fishing  in  the  Shelburne  River  is  to  be  had  by  driving   some   ten   miles   out  from    the   town.       A   ten-mile   drive  • 
will  bring  you  to  where  tlu:  tu  u  branches  of  the  river   meet.       Take   cither   branch  ;    both   are   fhmous   for   their   fish  | 
A  few  miles  fiirther  up  and  you  strike  a  chain  of  lakes  running  in  quick  succession  seventy  miles  away  to  the  foot  oil

THREE    VERY    PRETTV    TOWNS, 


)QMP:  people  call  the  La  Have  River  "the  Rhine  of  Nova  Scotia,"  while  others  call  it  "the  Rhone 
'  of  Nova  Scotia,"  and  others  a,q;aiii  are  content  to  refer  to  it  simply  as  the  prettiest   river 

in  the  pro\ince,  and  this  it  undoubtedly  is.  Fourteen  miles  from  the  mouth  of  the  La 
Have  is  the  little  town  of  Bridgewater  clinging  tenaciously  to  the  hillside.  The  first 
question  that  naturally  enters  your  mind  when  you  get  into  Bridgewater  is,  "How  in 
the  world  do  the  people  here  get  up  these  streets  in  winter  time  ?  "  You  will  be  very 
l)o.-;itive  that  they  must  be  possessed  of  some  supernatural  power  to  mount  those  giddy 
slopes  after  the  frost  gets  into  the  ground. 

Bridgewater   is   quite  a  youngster  compared    with   the  venerable  patriarchs  with 
which  we  have  of  late  been  associating,  for  Bridgewater  is  only  a  matter  of  fifty  years 
^  ■  o'd,  but  it  has  made  excellent  use  of  its  fifty  years.     There  are  few  places  in  the  province 

t'l'it  have  so  ample  and  well  appointed  a  court  house,  so  capacious  a  music  hall,  and  so  handsome 
and  substantial  a  railroad  station.     There  is  a  spirit  of  enteri)rise  that  impresses  you  immediatelv. 

There  is  great  fishing  around  Bridgewater.  It  is  famous  for  its  trout  and  its  salmon.  '  It  does  not  live  on 
fish  however,  after  the  manner  of  some  of  its  neighbors.  It  gets  its  livelihood  principally  from  the  twenty  or  thirty 
million  feet  of  spruce  and  pine  lumber  which  it  sends  forth  each  year  to  Boston  and  other  markets. 

Be  your  stay  at  Bridgewater  long  or  short,  you  must  certainly  crowd  into  it  a  sail  down  the  charming  La  Have, 
as  picturesciue  a  stream  as  one  might  wish  to  see  ;  and  historic  as  well.  After  you  have  passed  Getson's  Cove  and 
Conquer  All  Bank,  and  are  nearing  the  mouth  of  the  river,  they  will  point  out  to  you  th.e  spot  on  which  the  old, 
original  French  settlement  stood,  back  in  1637  ;  and  they  will  show  you  the  place,  too,  where  the  local  Mollie  Pitcher,' 
back  in  the  days  when  a  deal  of  privateering  was  done  both  by  the  seamen  of  No\a  Scotia  and  of  the  United  States' 
in  1812  or  thereabouts,  put  to  flight  the  fleet  of  the  aliens.  Her  good  husband  was  away,  so  the  storv  runs,  scouring 
the  high  seas  for  American  ships,  when  his  Amazonian  helpmate  spied  some  American  prixateers  coming  up  the  river. 
1  here  was  a  little  cannon  out  on  the  point  (they  will  show    you  just  where  it  stood),  put    there    to    protect  the  river  ;

and  out  went  the  enterprising  lady,  loaded  it  up,  and  took  such 
skilful  ami  that  the  oncoming  ships  took  to  their  heels  and 
sailed  with  all  speed  out  to  the  open  sea  again. 

Hut   here   you   are   down   to    Rockbound    Island  at  the 
mouth  of  the  river.     Now  you  must  tack  about  and  make  for 
Bndgewater,  or  you  will  miss  the  next  train   to    Mahone       It 
IS  about  a   tiMrty  minutes'   ride  from    Bridgewater  to  Mahone 
through  a  veiy  pleasant  country   and   past   many    lakes.       As 
you  ride  down  into  the  little  village  from  the  station,  the  road 
runs  along  by  the  edge  of  as  noisy  a  stream -for  one  of  its 
size  — as  you  ever  saw.     It  makes  a  tremendous  clatter,  dash- 
ing through  its  sluices  as  if  it  couldn't  wait  to  get  down  into 
the  cool,   clear  bay.

They  give  you  wonderfully  spacious  apartments,  and  their  table  will  tempt  you

best  make  straight  for  the  Citadel,  for  that  is  pre-eminentlv  the  starting  point  in 
sight-seemg  about  Halifax.  You  can't  miss  it;  any  street  that  runs  up  hill  will 
take  you  there.  It  is  in  the  heart  of  the  city,  stands  over  250  feet  high  and 
everythmg  slopes  from  the  Citadel  down.  If  you  are  stopping  at  the  "Halifax" 
or  "Queen,"  walk  down  Hollis  Street  until  you  come  to  the  Parliament  House 
Ihe  large  buildmg  that  stands  diagonally  across  from  Parliament  House  is  the 
Po.st-Office.  Run  up  to  the  top  of  it  before  you  leave  town  and  see  the  Provin-

wide.  Big  ships,  four-masted  schooners  and 
deep-draught  square-riggers  are  sailing  over  its 
waters ;  but  if  you  looiv  for  that  same  river  a 
few  hours  later  you  will  find  it  gone -evapo- 
rated,—vanished.  You  can  walk  across  it  and 
scarcely  wet  you  feet ;  and  the  big  ships  are  now 

tied  taut  to  the  wharf,   their  keels  a  good  fifteen 

feet  above  the  tiny  rills  of  water  that  trickle  along 

the  river  bed.      The  Avon   River  is  but  an  arm 

of  the  Basin  of  Minas,  and  the  tide  rises  and  falls 

here  thirty-five  and  forty  feet.

.         away,  peenng  at  you  between  the  intervening  islands.      It  is  a  twenty-eight  mile  ride  around  bv  the

BACK    TO    BOSTON. 


^K    first  hour's  ride  on  your  way  from  Digby   to  Yarinoiith   takes  you  through  a  rugged  piece  of 

country,   but  after  passing  Weymouth  (which,  by  the  way,  it  is  really  a  mistake  to  pass, 

for  only  two  miles  down   the   Sissiboo    River  from   Weymouth   you   come  to  St.   Mary's 

Bay,  which  is  altogether  one  of  the  prettiest  spots  in  the  whole  peninsula),  you  come 

out  into  the  more  open  country,  and  a  little  later  the  conductor  calls  out   "Ohio!" 

You  may  be  interested,  by  the  way,  to  know  how  Ohio  got  its  name.  Back 
in  the  twenties,  when  many  New  Englanders  nulled  up  stakes  and  moved  to  Ohio, 
a  little  company  of  Yarmouth  people  were  stricken  with  the  contagion,  and  they 
made  their  preparations  to  migrate  to  this  western  Eldorado  ;  but  at  the  last  moment 
their  hopes  'vere  dashed, —they  could  not  go.  So  they  moved  a  few  miles  out  of 
;^  Yarmouth  and  started  a  little  Ohio  of  their  own,— a  fine  illustration  of  the  supreme 
^^_  "         wisdom  of  wanting  the  thing  you  can  get  when  you  can't  get  the  thing  that  you  want. 

'  ,-*h-*  j^^j^  j^^^^  ^^^  ^^^  Milton  lakes,  and  here  is  Yarmouth. 

You  will  be  glad  to  get  back  to  the  "Grand"  hotel,  not  that  other  hotels  have  proved  so  poor,  but  because 
this  has  proved  so  good.  And  you  will  enter  the  dining-room  with  an  appetite  brought  to  a  fine  edge  by  the  memory 
of  your  former  visit.  There  are  the  waitresses,  each  in  her  snowy  apron  and  dainty  cap,  who  serve  you  so  expedi- 
tiously, so  noiselessly,  so  modestly.  You  will  linger  at  the  table  long  after  your  hygienic  instincts  will  tell  you  that 
you  have  had  enough,  simply  from  the  pleasure  of  prolonging  these  gentle  ministrations. 

If  in  your  flight  through  the  province  you  have  left  any  desire  unfulfilled,  if  you  still  want  more  boating,  more 
fishing,  more  cycling,  more  scenery,  you  can  easily  supply  the  deficiency  before  you  leave  Yarmouth.  If  you  have  not 
yet  had^  your  fill  of  fishing,  get  a  guide  and  go  out  to  the  Tusket  Lakes,— you  will  find  it  a  glorious  ending  to  your 
summer's  sport.  If  it's  boating  you  want,  try  the  harbor  at  flood  tide  ;  and  if  you  still  feel  an  aching  void  for  scenery, 
take  the  little  launch  once  more  over  to  Bay  View  Park,  clamber  up  again  to  its  peak,  and  drink  in  that  supernal 
scene,— and  then  board  the  "Boston"  or  the  "Yarmouth"  for  home. 


52 


The  boat  leaves  shortly  after  the  arrival  of  the  Halifax  train  about  six 
in  the  afternoon,  and  it  will  get  you  down  the  harbor  and  out  on  the  broad  ocean 
in  ample  season  to  see  the  great  Atlantic  catch  fire  in  the  west,  burst  into  a  blaze 
of  splendor,  and  then  gradually  die  away  from  crimson  to  purple,  and  from  purple 
to  gray,  as  the  sun  drops  into  his  watery  bed.  If  there  is  a  moon  you  will  find 
the  evening  perfect,  and  if  there  isn't  a  moon  the  stars  will  do  just  as  well.  But 
you  will  find  that  your  sojourn  in  Nova  Scotia  has  made  you  a  prodigious 
sleeper,  and  by  ten  o'clock  you  will  tun.ble  into  your  berth  to  sleep  as  sound 
as  a  saint. 

You    will   enjoy   the   sail  ne.>:t  morning  hugely.      The  only  thing  to  mar  it 
will  be  the  fact  that  so  many  of  your  fellow-tourists,  made  garrulous   by   the   un- 
wonted joys  of  a  Nova   .Scotia   vacation,  will  insist  on  telling  you 


'Z;^

of  the  harbor -and  here's  Boston  Light.  And  now  we  are  in  the  harbor  itself,  with 
old  Port  Warren,  looking  with  all  his  grimness,  pleased  to  see  us  back  again.  And 
tiiere   is  the  gilded  dome,  and  here  at  last  the  dock.     You  are  back  in  Boston. 

The  customs  officer,   as   he   dives  into   your   bag  and  stirs  your  brushes  and 
collars  all  around,   notices,   even  with    his   hurried  glance,   that    you    have  brought 

5.3 


^^    what  a  glorious   time   they   have   had,    and   how    many  fascinating 
-^  things  they  have  seen. 

"  But  here,   before  you  are  at  all  prepared   for   it,   or  in  any 

mood  to  welcome  it,  is  laud.     There  it  is  — Nahant,  sure  enough  — 
and  you  are  almost  home.       And  there  is  the  south  shore,   too.

'*-^!      "N* '^'^^'   '•^^   unfortunate  islands 
that  got  stranded  just  outside 


back  a  great  many  things  which  you  did  not  take  away, —thousands  of  dollars'  worth  — but,  poor  fellow,  he  has  to 
let  you  enter  them  duty  free,  for  there's  no  tariff  on  round  cheeks  and  clear  eyes,  hard  muscles  and  hardy  nerves,— 
nor  on  the  great  stores  of  vitality  that  will  last  you  for  a  big  year's  work. 

When  you  get  up  on  Washington  Street  with  your  grip  in  your  hand  your  old  friends  will  pass  )ou  by  without 
recognizing  you.  You  can  hardly  blame  them  for  you  are  in  fact  a  new  man.  The  pure  air,  the  clear  sunshine, 
and  the  sweet  breezes  of  Nova  Scotia  have  been  all  over  you  and  through  you,  and  driven  out  the  dust  and 
cobwebs,  and  have  renovated  you  in  body  and  renewed  you  in  mind,  and  rejuvenated  you  in  spirit.  You  have 
had   a   recreation   that   re-creates. 

And  finally,  when  some  friend  with  more  penetrating  vision  than  the  rest  discovers  your  identity  and 
exclaims:  "Why,  old  fellow,  how  you  have  changed  !  You  look  four  thousand  per  cent,  better  than  you  did! 
Where  in  the  world  have  you  been?"  you,  looking  at  him  wonderingly  for  asking  so  unnecessary  a  question, 
will  reply  :  "  Been  !  Been  !  Why,  where  could  I  have  been  to  look  four  thousand  per  cent,  better,  but  tci 
beuitiful,  charming,  glorious   Nova  Scotia  !  "

the  law.  This  has  been  chiefly  because  strangers  have  complained  of  the  difficulty  of  finding  the  officials  who  hitherto  have  had  authority  to 
sell  licenses.    It  is  the  intention  of  the  Game  Society  rigorously  to  enforce  '.he  above  laws,  and  therefore  this  publicity  has  been  given  to  them.
